inclusive of others, and to treat everyone with kindness and respect, no matter what
they look like or where they come from. This is important because it helps create a
better and more peaceful world where everyone can feel happy and included.

 outer circle. They are influence by the people we encounter, places we go to or live
in, and experience us go through.

covers the limitless domains of an individual’s unique characteristics, experiences
and abilities. Diversity encompasses respect and tolerance of differences that enable a
celebration of uniqueness.

 Diversity encourage innovation and problem solving by the increasing of innovation,
creativity, and strategic thinking because of the people who come from different
backgrounds can draw upon their unique experiences and a wider range of knowledge
to spark new and innovative ideas.
6. What can non-acceptance of diversity do in an organization?
 A lack of diversity in the workplace might unintentionally create a hostile
environment and increase attrition. When employees don't feel like they belong,
they're less inclined to stay. Companies with a successful workplace diversity
program and groups build programs and groups that support diversity. The
consequences of failing to manage diversity include a lack of skills, competencies,
and interests among employees, which will result in increased employee turnover and
a significant reduction in individual and organizational performance.
